Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high transmittance glass sheet of soda-lime-silica glass manufactured mainly by a float process. More specifically, this invention relates to a high transmittance glass sheet that allows the formation of nickel sulfide (NiS) in a process of melting a glass raw material to be suppressed effectively.
- NiS nickel sulfide
- NiS nickel sulfide
- soda-lime-silica glass sheets are tempered to be used for buildings, vehicles, cover glass plates for solar cell panels, solar water heaters or the like.
- a glass sheet is heated to a temperature near the softening point (about 600° C.) of the glass sheet. Then, the glass sheet is quenched so that compressive stress layers are generated in surfaces of the glass sheet.
- NiS When NiS is contained in a tempered glass sheet, NiS is present in an ⁇ phase that is stable at about 350° C. or higher, and undergoes phase transition with the lapse of time to a ⁇ phase that is more stable at room temperature. This phase transition causes NiS particles to expand in volume. As a result of this, micro cracks may appear in the vicinity of the NiS particles.
- a tensile stress layer exists, having a thickness of about two-thirds that of the glass sheet. When cracks appear in the tensile stress layer, the cracks run rapidly to cause spontaneous fracture of the tempered glass sheet.
- soaking has been known.
- tempered glass sheets are heated to 300° C. or lower in a furnace (soaking furnace). Then, the tempered glass sheets are maintained in the furnace for a predetermined time, so that NiS undergoes phase transition from an ⁇ phase to a ⁇ phase. This forces the tempered glass into breakage. In this manner, defective glass products containing NiS are eliminated.
- JP 9(1997)-169537 A discloses a method of manufacturing a soda-lime-silica glass in which 0.01 to 0.15 wt. % of a zinc compound such as zinc nitrate and zinc sulfate is added to raw materials, thereby allowing the formation of NiS to be suppressed.
- a zinc compound such as zinc nitrate and zinc sulfate
- a high transmittance glass sheet more specifically, a glass sheet having a light color and a high transmittance be used for an interior glass, a showcase, a display case, a high transmittance non-colored window glass, a high transmittance non-colored mirror, a glass substrate for a solar cell panel, a cover glass plate for a solar cell panel, a solar water heater, a material for a high solar-heat transmittance window glass, and a flat display substrate glass such as a front panel or the like.
- no high transmittance glass sheet has been known so far that is suitable for industrial mass production.
- a high transmittance glass sheet according to the present invention is formed of a soda-lime-silica glass composition containing, expressed in wt. %, less than 0.020% of total iron oxide and 0.006 to 2.0% of zinc oxide.
- total iron oxide denotes an amount of iron oxide in terms of Fe 2 O 3 . All of the iron in the composition is counted as Fe 2 O 3 , even if it exists as FeO.
- the soda-lime-silica glass composition constituting the high transmittance glass sheet according to the present invention contains less than 0.020 wt. % (less than 200 ppm) of total iron oxide.
- total iron oxide is contained in an amount of not less than 0.005 wt. % as will be described later.
- zinc oxide should be contained, in terms of ZnO, in an amount of not less than 0.006 wt. % (not less than 60 ppm).
- the addition of zinc oxide does not cause an increase in light absorption in the visible light region. It has been found to be desirable for the suppression of NiS formation that the content of zinc oxide be increased in inverse proportion to the content of total iron oxide. When the content of total iron oxide has a value near 200 ppm, it is required that ZnO be contained in an amount of not less than 60 ppm.
- ZnO is contained in an amount of not less than 180 ppm. More preferably, when the content of total iron oxide has a value near 200 ppm, ZnO is contained in an amount of not less than 100 ppm, and when the content of total iron oxide is 50 ppm, ZnO is contained in an amount of not less than 300 ppm.
- ZnO In manufacturing a high transmittance glass, in order to prevent ZnO from volatilizing during melting to damage a furnace, ZnO should be contained in an amount of not more than 2.0 wt. % (not more than 20,000 ppm). In the case where a float bath is used for forming a glass sheet, in order to prevent ZnO that has volatilized and condensed in the float bath from dropping onto a glass ribbon to form a defect, ZnO is used desirably in an amount of not more than 5,000 ppm, and more desirably in an amount of not more than 1,000 ppm.
- This problem which is caused by dropping of a condensed material that has volatilized, does not occur in the case where a glass sheet is manufactured, instead of using the float bath, for example, by a roll out process in which molten glass is rolled using a roller with an uneven (a predetermined pattern) or an even surface, and by a process in which molten glass that has been allowed to pass through a slit or overflow from a melting tub is drawn.
- the glass composition has contents of the total iron oxide and the zinc oxide whose values fall preferably within a range defined by a square ABCD formed by connecting Point A (200, 60), Point B (200, 20,000), Point C (50, 20,000), and Point D (50, 180) in this order, more preferably within a range defined by a square A′BCD′ formed by connecting Point A′ (200, 100), Point B (200, 20,000), Point C (50, 20,000), and Point D′ (50, 300) in this order, and most preferably within a range defined by a square A′B′C′D′ formed by connecting Point A′ (200, 100), Point B′ (200, 5,000), Point C′ (50, 5,000), and Point D′ (50, 300) in this order.

- the present invention also provides a method of suppressing formation of nickel sulfide in a high transmittance glass sheet having a solar radiation transmittance of 87.5% or higher and/or a visible light transmittance of 90.0% or higher on a basis of a 4.0 mm thick glass sheet.
- a glass raw material is prepared so that a content of total iron oxide in terms of Fe 2 O 3 is less than 0.020 wt % and a content of zinc oxide is 0.006 to 2.0 wt. %, and the glass raw material is melted.
- the content of zinc oxide required to suppress the formation of nickel sulfide particles in a glass composition increases as the content of total iron oxide is decreased when the content of the total iron oxide in the glass is in the range of 0.006 to 0.060 wt. %. Since zinc oxide materials are costly compared with other raw materials, it would be cost effective to use zinc oxide in the least possible amount required to suppress the formation of nickel sulfide particles. Therefore, in manufacturing soda-lime glasses successively, when the content of total iron oxide in a glass composition is decreased over time, preferably, the content of zinc in the glass composition is increased accordingly within the range of 0.006 to 0.50 wt. % (60 to 5,000 ppm). Conversely, when the content of the total iron oxide in the glass composition is increased over time, preferably, the content of zinc in the glass composition is decreased accordingly in the above range.
- Examples of zinc compounds for zinc oxide (ZnO) that should be added to a raw material include an inorganic zinc compound such as zinc nitrate (Zn(NO 3 ) 2 .6H 2 O), zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 .7H 2 O), a zinc halide (e.g.
- zinc fluoride ZnF 2 .4H 2 O
- zinc bromide ZnBr 2
- zinc chloride ZnCl 2
- zinc iodide ZnI 2
- zinc phosphate Zn 3 (PO 4 ) 2 .4H 2 O
- organic zinc compound such as zinc benzoate (Zn(C 6 H 5 CO 2 ) 2 ) and zinc acetate (Zn(CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 .2H 2 O).

That is, the high transmittance glass sheet is formed of a composition that contains, expressed in wt. %, 0.02 to 0.25% of cerium oxide, and has a FeO ratio of lower than 22%. When measurements are made on a 4.0 mm thickness basis, the high transmittance glass sheet has a solar radiation transmittance of 90.0% or higher and a visible light transmittance as determined using the illuminant C of 90.5% or higher. This allows a high transmittance glass sheet to be obtained that exhibits a high transmittance particularly in a region ranging from the visible region to the near-infrared region.
- a high transmittance glass sheet is preferred that contains, expressed in wt. %, 0.025 to 0.20% of cerium oxide, and has a ratio of a fluorescence intensity at a wavelength of 395 nm to a fluorescence intensity at a wavelength of 600 nm (f(395 nm)/f(600 nm), hereinafter, referred to also as a fluorescence intensity ratio) of 10 or higher when subjected to ultraviolet irradiation at a wavelength of 335 nm.

- composition of the high transmittance glass sheet according to the present invention will be described in terms of the components other than the zinc oxide described earlier.
- respective contents of the components are expressed in wt. %.
- iron oxide is present in forms of Fe 2 O 3 and FeO.

- T-Fe 2 O 3 When the content of T-Fe 2 O 3 is less than 0.005%, it is necessary to use high purity materials having low iron contents. This leads to a substantial cost increase. Thus, preferably, T-Fe 2 O 3 is contained in an amount of not less than 0.005%.

- the above-mentioned high transmittance glass sheet is used most suitably since the glass sheet allows energy in the ultraviolet region that hardly contributes to power generation to be converted into light in the visible region, thereby allowing the power generation efficiency to be enhanced.
- SiO 2 is a main component forming a skeleton of the glass.
- the content of SiO 2 is less than 65%, the durability of the glass is decreased, and when the content of SiO 2 is more than 80%, melting of the glass is hindered.

- the total content of MgO and CaO is not more than 7%, the durability of the glass is decreased. Conversely, when the total content exceeds 17%, the liquidus temperature is increased. Thus, more preferably, the total content is not more than 15%.
- the total content of MgO and CaO is as small as, for example, less than 10%, it is required that the content of Na 2 O be increased so that the degradation of the meltability and an increase in viscosity of a melt are compensated. This leads to a cost increase and a decrease in chemical durability of the glass.
- the total content of MgO and CaO is not less than 10%.
- Both Na 2 O and K 2 O serve to accelerate melting of the glass.
- the content of Na 2 O is less than 10% or when a total content of Na 2 O and K 2 O is less than 10%, only a poor effect of accelerating glass melting can be obtained. It is not preferable that the content of Na 2 O exceeds 18% or the total content of Na 2 O and K 2 O exceeds 20% since this results in a decrease in the durability of the glass.
- the content of Na 2 O is preferably not more than 15%, and more desirably not more than 14.5%. Since a material cost of K 2 O is high compared with Na 2 O, K 2 O is not an indispensable component. Even when K 2 O is used, it is not preferable that the content of K 2 O exceeds 5%.
- SO 3 serves to accelerate clarification of the glass.
- the content of SO 3 is less than 0.05%, a sufficient clarifying effect cannot be attained by a regular melting method.
- the content of SO 3 is more than 0.1%.
- SO 2 produced as a result of decomposition of SO 3 remains in the glass in the form of a bubble, and SO 3 dissolved in the glass becomes more likely to produce bubbles by reboiling.
